So what defines an American built car?

Is a Ford that's assembled in Mexico an American car? How about a Honda that's assembled in Ohio? The management gurus tell us that where the profits go should be the determining factor so the Mixican Ford qualifies. I'm thinking that the workers wages that are spent (and re-spent) in their home area should be the determining factor. That would make the Honda an American car.

Using that logic 3 of the 7 bikes at our house have frames that were manufactured in the US.
